I booked this hotel four days July 22 thru July 26. I booked a non-smoking room. On check in the room reeked of smoke. I complained and mgt said they can't control who smokes outside and then uses the room, but they gave a second room. The second non-smoking room reeked of smoke. On both ends of the building the rooms are rented to locals that appear to live there long term. These groups smoke and I assume then use the rooms. I complained again and the mgt offered to move me again to another non-smoking room. I declined and stated I wanted to cancel the reservation, pay for the one night and refund the remaining 3 days. The whole area reeks of smoke. Doors on the icemaker area with broken out glass, trash around the parking lot and just generally poorly maintained. I contacted Expedia and explained the issue and Expedia told me to checkout and they would get the refund. I checked out morning of 7/23 and the mgr/owner stated he would issue refund to Expedia. Now Expedia informs me that they cannot get the refund. I will never stay in an Econo Lodge, when people think they can keep my money after saying it would be refunded, that is just not acceptable.

My partner and our dogs were in search of a cozy spot to rest before heading to visit our parents in Tri-Cities, and we found the perfect place! It was not only charming but also budget-friendly, making our stay even better.

And to top it off, there was a delightful bakery called Blackbird right next door. We enjoyed sipping on freshly brewed coffee and savoring delicious donuts—such a fantastic way to fuel up before hitting the road again!

When I booked this property I read a review of 7 out of 10 stars. I struggle to find how the 7 was achieved. Our check in was seamless as the front desk employee was wonderful. Other than that, it was a pretty rough stay. The room reeked of cigarette smoke, floors felt sticky, and there were stains on our towels and washcloths. The toilet did not flush, but the manager did repair it, and we waited til close to 8 am this morning, and never had access to the coffee that was promised. We completely overpaid for this room as we were in town for an event at Bristol Motor speedway, but if you’re paying colossally more, you should have nicer amenities.

The room clean. When we checked in there was at least 20 stink bugs in our room around the door and window. We called management and the lady came and told us these were outside bugs not inside bugs and they wouldn’t bite us. Still they was in our room. They would not take any money off the room for this. So we had to debug our room ourselves. The microwave would not heat anything up at all, so we ended up throwing half a pizza away that night. We should have just rented a R.V. And stay at the race track. Probably will do that next trip.

Bristol’s best deal on a budget!

The staff was incredibly friendly. Let us check in early after driving 12 hrs thru the night to avoid traffic. Room was clean, cool, convenient, and all amenities were in working order. We don’t spend much time in the room when we travel so accommodations are low on our list of priorities but this property was moments from everywhere we wanted to be and very affordable. We will stay again, we come annually for Tripride events and will be back in October this year for the actual festival. Looking forward to another great review after! Gem in the rough, don’t sleep on this opportunity!

Overall, room was clean and adequate. The only problem was that only half enough towels and washcloths were allowed for registered guests in room. Had to return used towels to office to get replacements before other guests could shower. This is ridiculous and will keep us from ever staying here again even though facilities were good enough otherwise.

Avoid if possible

Hotels.com put me in this hotel after my original booking (which I booked six months ago) was not going to be honored by the hotel that I reserved.) But that’s another story. This hotel was dirty and noisy. It is a few feet away from a busy roadway. The room smelled of mildew. To top it all off, we came back to the room after being gone all day to find our door left open by housekeeping. Luckily, nothing was stolen. Of course, housekeeping amounted to only new towels left on the bed. There was no breakfast as listed in the description. Avoid if possible.

Okay,Not As Good As Years Past

It was not a bad place to stay. We have stayed there for years when we visit but it has been a year or so since our last visit. The place seems it has gone down hill over the past year. The condition of the bathroom was less than desirable. Paint had chipped away from the wall,rust stains around the light in the bathroom. We killed a couple roaches in the room too. The staff were okay,just not as friendly as before. They also dropped the continental breakfast or breakfast of any kind. We will be looking for another place to stay next time.

You might not get to stay where you pay to stay

We booked a room at a hotel and then we're sent to another one several miles down the road. Maybe just count your rooms and only book that many per night. While you're at it, it would be nice if you could move in the bathroom.
